Introduction
Case IH Optum 270: High-Capacity Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH Optum 270 is a high-performance row-crop tractor introduced in 2016. Manufactured in St. Valentin, Austria, this machine is engineered to meet the demands of modern intensive agriculture through a balance of power, sophisticated drivetrain technology, and operator comfort.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6.7-liter FPT 6-cylinder diesel engine, featuring electronic high-pressure common rail direct injection. It utilizes an electronic variable geometry turbocharger with air-to-air aftercooling to achieve a rated power of 271 hp (202.1 kW) and a maximum gross power of 290 hp (216.3 kW). Emissions compliance is managed through Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, meeting Tier IV standards.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Power delivery is managed by a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which provides infinite forward and reverse speed control across four ranges. This system is paired with a four-wheel-drive configuration and wet disc brakes, ensuring reliable traction and stopping power. Final drives utilize an inboard planetary design for durability under heavy loads.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center pressure flow compensating (PFC) setup, offering a standard pump flow of 43.6 gpm (165.0 lpm). It supports multiple rear and mid-mounted valves for complex implement operation. The rear PTO is independent and offers multiple speeds—540, 540E, 1000, and 1000E—providing flexibility for various implements, while a front PTO is available as an option.
Hitch and Capacity
The tractor features an electronic draft control system for the rear three-point hitch, which is rated as Category III. It provides a lift capacity of 19,180 lbs (8,700 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point. The front hitch offers a lift capacity of 9,700 lbs (4,399 kg), allowing for the use of front-mounted implements.
Operator Environment
The Optum 270 is equipped with the SurroundVision cab as standard, which includes integrated air conditioning. Precision farming capabilities are supported by the factory-installed AccuGuide guidance system, designed to enhance operational accuracy and reduce operator fatigue during long field sessions.
Conclusion
With a base weight of 23,149 lbs and a maximum capacity of 35,274 lbs, the Case IH Optum 270 is built for heavy-duty traction tasks and demanding row-crop applications, offering a versatile solution for large-scale farming operations.
